Brief Summary: The goals of this research are to understand adherence and retention in care for multi-and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis MXDR-TB patients using a mixed methods approach
Detailed Description: Tuberculosis TB remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide among people living with HIV Globally incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis MDR-TB and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis XDR-TB the most drug-resistant forms of TB has approximately doubled over the past fifteen years Nowhere has this increased incidence generated more concern than in South Africa where interactions between TB and generalized HIV epidemics are causing explosive TB incidence and case-fatality threatening to undermine the progress reached with antiretroviral therapy ART

Medication adherence a key predictor of outcomes in multi-and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis MXDR-TB and HIV treatment is understudied in high burden TBHIV settings Patient losses during transitions in the care continuum are frequent increase mortality and limit control of the linked epidemics Demands of MXDR-TB HIV treatment are severe including extraordinary pill burden severe adverse effects lengthy treatment isolation and stigma with few parallels in modern medicine

This is a prospective observational cohort study for patients newly diagnosed with MXDR-TB initiating treatment A mixed method approach will be employed to address the complex research questions of distilling determinants of barriers and facilitators to both TB medications and ART this study will employ complementary qualitative and quantitative methodologies for assessing differential adherence to TB medications and ART

A sub-set of patients and health care workers will be approached for participation in focus group discussions
